Color Throwdown 112

Happy Wednesday! Barbara is our hostess today with this cozy combination that is sure to inspire you to create something warm and wonderful! Pixie Petals is our sponsor today; check out the CTD blog to find out all the details about both the sponsor and how to play with us!

My card only has a tiny bit of stamping on it, since the flower from Pixie Petals is pretty bold! I used a sketch from my sweet friend Donna at Butternut Sage:

(I believe the bottom panel measurements are a little off, but you get the general picture!) So, here we go:

I used papers from October Afternoon’s Thrift Shop as well as Cosmo Cricket’s Joy Ride and SU’s Old Olive Patterns. I stamped my sentiment from CHF on a tag from SU’s Lots of Tags dies, then layered it on another tag that I trimmed to fit, and embellished it with a glittery butterfly from the Beautiful Wings diecut:

In addition, I stamped the swirl from Season of Joy with Versamark and embossed it with Iridescent Ice embossing powder….it may be a little difficult to see here, but IRL it gives it a special glimmery effect:

My card also qualifies for the City CrafterChallenge 24, Flower & Frills!! This was a fun card to make, thanks to Donna’s sketch and Barbara’s colors----now let’s see what you can create! Hop on over to the CTD blog and play along with us. Now here are links to the other CTD designers:

Wow that bloom is beautiful (so is your card)!! I may have to buy some after seeing how lovely it looks on your card! Great use of your friend's sketch, and I love how you utilized the colors :] Gorgeous work, my friend!!
